I must say I really like your tiller, even if it is unlikely that the original would have had such a nice design. I presume that you have fired it and I am curious about overall and maximum accurate range.

Hi Alexander,
Here is the site: http://gunneyg.info/Morko/html/MorkoWideBand.htm I saved all those photos and the author's statements concerning the (art) history of the gun, so here they are. The tiller stock a portion of which is seen in the first photo is a modern reconstruction but most probably comes very near the original.
